Filling station/forecourt signage - Potential impact and cumulative effect
The range of signs at filling stations can create visual clutter; a coordinated approach is needed when replacing signage, with particular care required for illuminated advertisements near residential properties.
Given the range of signs involved, there is the potential for their cumulative effect to result in clutter. To help prevent this a co-ordinated approach should be taken when bringing forward proposals, particularly where existing signage is being replaced. Particular care is needed in assessing proposals for illuminated advertisements at filling stations located adjacent to or near residential properties.
